poltr1I like shopping. I like hunting for bargains. I like driving. But lately I think it's been taking its toll on me.
Last week, I went to 4 Big Lots stores to pick up a stack of 100 DVD+Rs for $16. That's a damn good price. Micro Center wants $21 for their stack of 100. But it took me traveling to 4 stores to do it. This week, the object of pursuance was an HP 4 Gb flash drive, also at Big Lots. This find took me 3 trips. (Yes, brands, sizes, and styles matter.)
I sometimes think about the gas I'm wasting, along with the wear and tear on the car, and the time it takes to chase down these deals. Is it really worth my time and energy to save a few bucks?
